Keyboard shortcut does not work and there is no ability to change the keys so useless for me (Firefox 132, MacOS)

Beautiful! Just what I needed. Makes tab navigation simple and fast! Thank you for the amazing extension.

One of those extensions that should be included by default in Firefox. Many thanks to the developer. TabSearch in Firefox and Rofi for window switching makes navigating tabs and windows so much easier. I inactivated the "Closed Tabs" in the preferences, but otherwise, the default options are excellent.
